Large car - 2 weeks July

Just trying to get an idea of what people have paid in the past for 2 weeks car hire in July.
Looking at a price of approx £330 on Auto Europe with Budget for next July.
Would this be around normal?

Are you talking about hire in Europe or the US

As you say that's more than phenomenal having regard to the current scary rates. Even the Budget site direct is showing over £1,200 (guessing MCO and mid-July)

Worth checking that it includes both CDW with no excess and $1m SLI.

If it does then book it now.

As it is in the Florida planning section I didn’t think I needed to say it’s a US booking 😀
We’re picking up at MCO on the 9th and returning on the 23rd. Available on the autoeurope website. I’m looking at prices in euro so did a rough conversion. It’s probably closer to £350.
I thought it is a great price but am second guessing myself with everything in relation to next summer!

Looks a tad "glitchy" to me compared with all the other models. You could try to book and see what happens. As I said before though check the insurance

Thanks Mick, it has been showing that price for about 3 weeks now. I had been waiting for the Alamo prices to come down but then was thinking to myself I should probably secure it as the news on the chip shortage being resolved wasn’t great during the week.

I’ll check the insurances but have used AE a few times in the past and always had the full cover with them.

just had a quick look for august dates with AE, £873 for a versa with CDW 0 excess etc full to full fuel included (sixt). with that car it would be "luggage follows us in uber" and pretty pricy as others have found. 885 for a jetta "kids the hand luggage is in the footwells deal with it"

for your dates on the UK site it says 753 for me (jetta with sixt) or 743 for a versa "kids you are on the roof im afraid"

if that cheap "large" car exists then book it as it looks a deal in the current madness.

Id recommend going for it at that price. You can soon cancel / amend if a better deal comes up in the future. Is that on airport pickup as well? Theres a few deals around for some hotel offices.

Thanks Andy, yes it’s on airport pickup - MCO.

I logged into the.co.uk site and see that they don’t offer that deal there.

It’s a first as I usually see better deals for British customers than for Irish.

Hertz are notorious for it - have see £100’s difference between hertz.ie and .co.uk sites over the years never in my favour though. I even contacted their customer service one time to discuss with them but didn’t get anywhere 😀
